It absolutely does. The spawn is the first location every cas player looks for SPAA. And if you know they are there you ping it on the map and know exactly where to pop up. If you hide somewhere else on the map it is way harder to find and engage the SPAA.
Yes, which doesn’t change the fact that you can make it challenging for them and have a quite high chance of killing them.
There are players that hate CAS because they want a tank battle, and an air raid isn’t the same. (I guess it would surprise you that they aren’t all noobs, but then hardcore tankers keep quitting this air-raid game.)
There are players that hate CAS because SPAA isn’t a counter to CAS, only other airplanes. Believe-it-or-not, there are players without any interest or talent in flying, so grabbing an airplane isn’t really a tool in their box. Having SPAA not counter aircraft means they experience an imbalance that is not in their favor as they try to have a tank battle.
I agree with you! If Gaijin starts giving bonuses (+ lion or XP) for killing planes and helis in a GRB, it could encourage players to learn how to counter CAS. It would promote team play because, when you’re just playing tanks and keep getting killed by planes, the first thing you should do is to pick a SPAA or a plane.
They can’t respawn in them without having to pay increased SP costs and spending a backup though. I would like to see proper despawn zones, which also allow to respawn a used vehicle that has been despawned there for free. (For all branches)
And if you are playing with a squad with different nations , you can do it in all BRs. And If you do it in 12.7, we can sit a long time wait for a match
Oh, I can’t find a tank with 12.7 B.R. so I can’t really test how rotation works for people playing only Ground in Ground Battles. If You are having a problem at the B.R. higher than the B.R. of best ground units, You would have the same issue when players playing only ground would play a mode dedicated for ground vs ground combat.
I tested at the moment how long I had to wait for a match in:
